McDonald's Adding Chicken Wings to Menu

Most Read

Just in time for football season, McDonald's will add chicken wings to its menu. According to Burger Business, beginning September 9, for a limited time, McDonald's will offer Mighty Wings nationally. The bone-in wings will be sold in 3, 5, and 10 pieces, and come with a variety of sauces, like Chipotle Barbecue, Sweet Chili Sauce, and Hot Mustard.

Mighty Wings were first added to the Golden Arches menu in the '90s but were pulled off in 2003. In 2012, they reappeared when McDonald's tested the wings at several locations in Atlanta, Georgia. Then in January 2013, the chain expanded the testing ground to 500 Chicago-area restaurants, adding a creamy ranch sauce to the dipping choices, reports USA Today. Rumors swirled that a nationwide expansion was imminent. One fast-food consultant told USA Today that before McDonald's expands availability, they will test to see if the new menu item can easily be eaten in the car as the majority of the restaurant's food is purchased via the drive-thru window. Apparently Mighty Wings are a winner.

The news of the seasonal menu item was leaked by a franchisee on a Facebook page, but was promptly taken down. However, McDonald's has since confirmed the news, explains Burger Business, and will offer Mighty Wings through November with a starting price of $2.99.
